I'm fine with super villains, a high tech cape, and surviving unsurvivable situations, but not stupid hack writing.

Another thing that jumped out at me.

[Show spoiler]Chess put his mask on the cape (before he was the cape), to frame him. So now, to the world Chess is dead. But later on Chess wears his get up again. Stupid. What if somebody sees Chess? People might start looking into him and his company. Part of the reason Chess framed The Cape is so the citizens would think his company did what the cops couldn't. So if the city found out he failed they might change their minds about privatized police. At the least it's bad for PR.

Overall, I didn't really enjoy it too much but I'll watch a few more episodes and decide.

I suppose that's why I can enjoy shows like this when others can't. I don't pay attention to that type of thing. If I enjoy the show, I enjoy the show. I don't read too much into "well THAT was just ridiculous."

As Arvin Clone said, I went through eight years of 24 so obviously my bullshit detector is a bit flawed. lol.

I never ONCE even factored in many of what you pointed out. I just sit back and enjoy the show.
